i would really like to see the fine print for globe's consummable plans because from what i saw in their ads, it looked to me like data usage was consummable, but while there was a free sms allocation, it seemed to me that there were no free minutes for voice calls. could i be wrong? if so, that would be very expensive....

what happened with the G-FLEX plan, it's like you're using prepaid with monthly free text, except that you have a fixed monthly service fee. if you consume less than the MSF, lugi ka.

consumable.. kaya wala nang free free. that only means.. lets say na 1000 per month ka.. you may use all that amount making calls alone, or 1000 text messages lang or puro MMS lang na worth 1000 or IDD na worth 1000 din or combination ng dalawa, tatlo o lahat.
kung sosobra sa 1000 ang usage mo, ok lang.. pero kung di mo namaximize yung usage mo.. lets say na 600 worth lang ang nagamit mo (text, calls, mms, wap, ec), that means, lugi ka, kase you'd still pay 1000. sabagay.. ano nga ba ang kaibahan nyan at nung nag ooffer pa sila ng free free instead na consumable? minsan kung tutuusin mo, mas maganda pa ang una nilang scheme kung tawag at text ka lang.. pero mga tao ngayon kase gusto kasama na sa consumable yung mms, wap, idd nila kaya ayan... parang anlabo kong magpaliwanag ah..
dapat ang i suggest nyo, magbigay sila ng plan para sa unlimited usage of GPRS (not metered yung dina download mo sa wap) kada buwan...

@ dunkin2
if you really say any form of communication, then here goes:
1) EXPRESS TELECOM (extelcom)
They have an UNLIMITED calling plan. Saan ba province ng friends mo?
kung pareho kayo within Luzon, there is a P295/month UNLIMITED EXPRESS-to-EXPRESS. ganun din kung pareho kayo VISMIN.
Pero kung Luzon ka tapos VisMin sila (o kaya baliktad), then you should get the P590/month UNLIMITED Express-to-Express. Prepaid ang bayad. MAglo-load ka ng special P295 or P590 na card.
Ang kalaban mo lang dito ay yung signal kasi nga analog pa rin ang network nila. Pero mag-uupgrade na sila to Digital soon.
2) SUN CELLULAR
Kumuha ka ng Prepaid ng Sun, tapos sila din. Pag may SIM na kayo ng SUN, palitan nyo yung usage profile. Gawin nyong I-SPEAK.
Pag nagtawagan kayo, Sun-to-Sun, P5 / min lang buong araw.
Medyo kalaban nyo rin ang signal. Pero magdadagdag din sila ng cellsite from Jan to June 2004.
3) PLDT TOUCH CARD
kung may pldt landline naman kayo pareho, use PLDT TOUCH CARD.
Di ko maalala ung exact price pero it's just P3/min or P4/min buong maghapon.
Wala nang Prepaid na nag-ooffer ng Peak/Off-Peak. Lahat sila Flat Rate na. Good luck! let me know your final choice... =)

thanks sa mga input mo.
express telecom ddati gamit ko nawala signal dito mga2 yrs ago(zambales to manila).
pag no choice na talaga baka pldt touch card na nga lang.
dude what do you think of nextel? diba 4/min tapos per second charging? yung lowest plan nila 800+. marami ba sila extra charges? mga 100 minutes sana per day ang usage ko.

@ dunkin
i can't personally recommend nextel.
nextel is a TRUNK RADIO (or "walkie-talkie" service; "roger, roger...") kaya per-second ang charging nila.
ang disadvantage nun ay NEXTEL-to-NEXTEL lang talaga ang per second. kung gagamitin mo sila pantawag sa karamihan ng cellphones and landline sa pilipinas, lugi ka rin kasi idadagdag yun sa bill mo and per-minute na ang charging nun. kung kayo lang ng friends mo sa zambales ang gagamit, and tig-isa kayo, di kaya mapamahal lalo kayo?
Nextel is only recommended to business users (ex. Security Guard agencies, Delivery services, etc.)
So, kung PLDT Touch Card ang alternative mo, yun na nga lang siguro. Sige, happy talking! =)

@anthony: I tried downloading the internet settings of globe for wap usage. I even tweaked with it using the O2 and Ericsson IPs but it still didn't work for me. Apparently, you could enjoy it using an iternet browser installed in java-enabled or smartphones. Pag via GPRS on an wap enabled phone lang eh hindi ito gagana. Nabulyawan ko na nga yung CSR kasi ang tanga mag-explain, tinuruan ko pa kung papano nya i-eexplain to customers should she encounter the same question kasi naintindihan ko na from what she is saying pero mali lang yung mga details ng explanation nya pagdating sa technical. Kaya mag-upgrade na rin tayo ng phone, hehehe. Just turn the "show pictures" option off para mas konti kain nito sa kb. Aights.
